The former president remains banned from major social media sites.

After less than a month, former President Donald Trump’s blog is apparently no more.

When visiting the link Wednesday morning that used to harbor his blog, “From the Desk of Donald J. Trump,” the page redirects to a signup form for “EXCLUSIVE updates” from Trump. Trump’s website still has a “news” tab with statements, but no more blog.

“It was just auxiliary to the broader efforts we have and are working on,” Trump senior adviser Jason Miller told POLITICO. Miller said in a tweet Wednesday to “stay tuned,” suggesting the move may be a precursor to Trump joining another social media platform.

The Washington Post had reported less than two weeks ago that Trump’s blog and website, complete with a fundraising portal and an online store, was getting fewer visitors than recipe site Delish over one week. His blog posts had been shared in one week less than 2,000 times per day on average, well below his previous reach, the Post reported.

    His pronouncements will still reach his cult. They will just be housed in the News section of his website.

    Whatever happened to his planned social media platform that was supposed to be like Twitter? I guess his fans will have to wait for it just like his promised new health plan or infrastructure plan when he was still president.
